The Field Atlas
0/363Hills chapter · 46.73° N · 117.18° W
Deep loess hills — wind-laid silt — rolled into a green or gold ocean of wheat. Soft, almost dune-like farmland.
Ice-age winds stacked silt into dunes that farmers later planted. From Steptoe Butte the land reads as a single green fabric. May and June are the green months; August goes gold.
